George Wright (30 June 1860[1] – 11 March 1944)[note 1] was a painter in oils whose subjects were mainly drawn from hunting, with which he was familiar, being a fox-hunter himself,[2] coaching and other equestrian topics.
George Edward and Elizabeth were married on 22 August 1859 in St. Jude's Church at Hunslet, Leeds, Yorkshire, England.
[5] He was living at 5 King's Road, Richmond, Surrey in September 1939 along with his wife Rose Ellen and his sister Ethel.
[45]: 5 However, as he left a large number of oil canvasses from his early period painted en Grisaille[note 17] it is assumed that he was doing a lot of illustration work.
[10][note 19] Bradshaw said that Wright was chiefly known for his jolly sporting prints—pictures of Georgian huntsmen, "Gentlemen of the Road" and other "horsey" types who are always certain of popularity on the walls of the R.A. and in print-shop windows all over the World.
[9] Victoria Fine art states that He painted superb horse portraits and very good action pictures, particularly of hunting and coaching.
